As reported in the material, on the upgraded “Strikers” a remote control system ATGM “Javelin” is installed. Earlier, to produce a shot from the ATGM, it was necessary to stop the armored personnel carrier, after which the operator protruded from the hatch and fired a shot. On new Stryker models, the ATGM complex is managed from under armor and on the go. It is reported that originally the US Department of Defense ordered 86 sets of remote control ATGM “Javelin” for installation on an armored personnel carrier “Stryker”. All kits are designed for machines deployed in Europe.
